Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Clay is composed of tightly packed, small, flattened grain particles. Although voids between clay particles are small, clay is able to hold a lot of water. The movement of water, however, is impeded by poorly connected, small pore spaces.
